The family arrived safely at Pinehurst! Unfortunately, they currently have no internet access (or computer) so they have hired a literary genius to keep their fans updated! : ) The Wednesday practice rounds went well for both Jack and Alisa, with Alisa shooting a fantastic 2 over par for 9 holes! The Wednesday night activities included a Parade for the tournament participants, in which Jack and Alisa had the honor of marching with the Arizona Flag, or shall I say the flag had the honor of being held by the cutest kids in professional golf (well - they will both be on the Pro tour soon, so I'll make take the liberty)!
The first round of the tournament began today and Jackie reports that Alisa caught a case of the first 'Big Tournament' jitters and shot a 48 for the day. However, that still places her at a respectable 47th place in the world for her division! Jack was able to play 10 holes before Mother Nature decided to call it a day for the kids and rain out the remaining 8 holes. So, Jack will have to play the final 8 holes tomorrow morning prior to playing the additional 18 he was scheduled to play tomorrow as well (If ever there was a time to give a kid a healthy energy drink!). We will hear more tomorrow about the second round of play and while we wait, we send our best wishes to Jack and Alisa for a wonderful second round!
